How to care for peony after it blooms

Flowering period

Peonies usually bloom from April to May, and the normal flowering period is about 10 to 15 days. Of course, there are also longer flowering periods, and some varieties have a longer flowering period of about 20 days.

The flowering time of peony may be affected by climate or temperature, and improper maintenance will cause the flowers to wither prematurely.

Maintenance methods

Windproof

The blooming time of peonies coincides with the windy season in the north. In some areas, there are 360-degree strong winds that are unbearable for people, let alone flowers. If the peony flowers are hit by strong winds during this period, they will easily become top-heavy and their branches will be broken. Therefore, when it blooms, be sure to place the plant in a sheltered place and fix the branches to prevent them from shaking and causing the flowers to fall off.

Sufficient light

Peonies need sufficient sunlight to bloom. If there is insufficient light, the branches will easily grow too tall, causing the leaves to turn yellow. Normal photosynthesis will not be able to take place, and the flowers will not get enough nutrients. Not only will the flowers be small, but the colors will not be bright and there will be no fragrance.

Watering

Peonies need more water during their flowering period. In April and May, although the temperature is not high, the wind is strong and the water evaporates quickly, so sufficient water is very necessary. Water regularly to keep the soil in the pot slightly moist. In sunny weather, you should spray water around frequently, but do not spray on the flowers to avoid them withering prematurely.
